How to Delete Tags From WordPress Posts

1. Scroll down to the 'Post Tags' section to delete a WordPress tag from the post editing screen. Click the 'X' next to a tag to delete it. This deletes the tag from the post, but it does not remove other instances of that same tag from your WordPress website.
2. Click the 'Posts' menu on the left side of the WordPress dashboard to delete a tag without viewing the post editing screen. Hover the mouse pointer over the name of a post, and click 'Quick Edit.' Click the 'Post Tags' field on the right side of the page, and press the 'Backspace' key to erase a tag. Click the 'Update' button when you are finished. Like the previous method, this only deletes a tag in an individual post.

3. Click 'Post Tags' under the 'Posts' menu on the left side of the WordPress dashboard to remove a tag from your website. Hover the mouse pointer over a tag on the right side of the page, and click 'Delete' to delete it. If your website has more post tags than can fit on a single page, use the 'Search Tags' field in the upper-right corner of the page.
